China Southern Airlines exhibited its self-developed A320NEO Flight and Navigation Procedure Trainer (FNPT), the first of its kind in China built to the standards of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Compared to existing trainers, this device includes numerous innovative features. It offers semi-closed or open cockpits to simulate the aircraft cockpit, control panels, flight instruments, and flight control systems, creating a highly realistic training environment. This trainer not only fulfills normal flight training needs but also meets the requirements of China's civil aviation pilot skill life-cycle management system (PLM), marking a milestone in the domestic development of FNPT devices.
The booth also featured innovative projects, including the "Sky Eye" system and eco-friendly merchandise made from recycled aircraft materials.
